Blintz Recipes

Today, my "Potato Blini with Quinoa and Smoked Salmon" recipe is featured on Wall Street CS. I'm not sure how my recipe ended up in a financial news site article but it's something I can be thankful for Thanksgiving! The post is about quinoa and 7 other appetizers, using the gluten-free ingredient, featured as well. You can find the recipe directly on my website, so you can impress guests with these potato pillow-y pancakes, each topped off with a bit of quinoa and smoked salmon.
I bet today will be somehow linked to a lot of food (either cooking in the kitchen, sipping and snacking watching the game or enjoying a banquet of rich food. Let's start the end-of-the-year celebrations with a bang and delicious food! Our family wishes you a wonderful gathering tonight, scrumptious food and safe travels. Let's count our amazing blessings and appreciate the little things in life. I'm so grateful for the wonderful people I met in my life's journey (you know who you are ). Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Potato blini appetizers would make an attractive addition on any Thanksgiving table. The true beauty of this dish, though, is its flavor. Atop each potato blin I placed a generous portion of quinoa, a caviar look-alike, which I mixed with homemade tapenade for added flavor. I topped the mixture with a dollop of crème fraîche, a piece of smoked salmon (optional) and garnished the little bites with dill.

Unlike cutlets (Indian version of the potato bite), potato blini contain eggs and flour (no bread), so the appetizers don't fall apart when your guests pick them up. The result is an edible piece of art that is almost too pretty for your guests to eat.
